Summary

This data collection supplies standard monthly labor force
data as well as supplemental data on work experience, income, noncash
benefits, and migration. Comprehensive information is given on the
employment status, occupation, and industry of persons 15 years old
and older. Additional data are available concerning weeks worked and
hours per week worked, reason not working full-time, total income and
income components, and residence on March 1, 2000. This file also
contains data covering noncash income sources such as food stamps,
school lunch programs, employer-provided group health insurance plans,

Data Collection Notes

In this hierarchical dataset, there are three
record types. The first record type is Household, with 142 variables
for 64,362 records. The Family record type has 76 variables for 56,480
records, and Person records have 471 variables for 128,821 records.
There are a total of 249,663 records in the file.

Sample

A national probability sample was used in selecting
housing units. About 60,000 housing units were contacted, with an
additional 3,500 Hispanic households added to the March survey
sample. The sample was located in 792 sample areas comprising 2,007
counties and independent cities with coverage in every state and the
District of Columbia.

Universe

Civilian noninstitutional population of the United States
living in housing units and members of the Armed Forces living in
civilian housing units on a military base or in households not on a

Version History

2002-01-10 The data file and the codebook have been replaced
by the Census Bureau due to a weighting error. The error resulted in
the assignment of incorrect weights to records in the Annual
Demographic file. National estimates of median and mean income,
poverty rates, and health insurance coverage were only minimally
affected (see Table in User Note 1 in the codebook). Weights for
adults (age 16 years and older) were only minimally affected. The
impact was primarily on the weights for children (under the age of 16)
and varied by state. Thus, sub-national estimates of children's data
are most likely to show a change when using corrected
weights. However, since the weighting problem affected all records on
a proportional basis, ratio estimates and percent distributions should
show only minor changes, even those for children.
